Pure ethanol vapor is fed to a reactor packed with alumina catalyst, at the rate of 100 kmole / hr. The reactor products comprise: ethylene :95 kmole / hr, water vapour: 97.5 k mole / hr and diethyl ether :2.5 kmole/hr. The reactions occuring can be represented by:C2H5OH C2H4 + H2O2C2H5OH C2H5 - O - C2H5 + H2OThe percent conversion of ethanol in the reactor is
